Communication with spacecraft is by means of radio. Signals travel at the speed of light. At that speed, signal travel one-way to or from the moon takes about 1 and 1/4 seconds. For Mars, depending on where the earth and Mars are in their orbits, radio communication one-way can take up to 22 minutes.

What is the time it takes to travel around a circle called?
It depends on the size of the circle and your mode of transport
How long across is the US?
Long refers to time and the time it takes to cross the US is dependent on the distance it is across the US and the rate of travel used. As there are various rates of travel possible then there is a range of times for crossing the country.
How long would it take to know the sun has burned out?
8 minutes, as that is the time it takes for the light from the sun to travel to the earth.
Are rockets just used for space travel?
Rockets are almost always used in space travel. It takes the thrust of the rocket to push the satellite or capsule to it's destination. 99% of the time, a rocket is used in space travel.
Whats the amount of time it takes to travel to mars from earth?
About 9 months by conventional chemical rocket propulsion.
How does an elcometer work?
The gauge takes a signal and sends it through the paint to the substrate below. The thickness of the paint is determined by measuring the time it takes the signal to travel to and from the substrate.
What tool does its job by measuring the amount of time it takes for a signal to travel the length of the cable and back?
Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR)
What is propagation delay time?
It's the time it takes a radio signal to travel from one place to another, the time it takes a light beam to travel from one end of the fiberoptic cable to the other end, the time it takes an electrical signal to travel from one side of a circuit board to the other side, etc., things like that. If you're listening to the baseball game on the radio, it doesn't much matter how long it took the signal to reach you from the transmitting tower. But if the radio signal is being used to control a high-speed passenger train, or a drone aircraft on a counter-insurgency mission, or a robotic rover digging in the dirt on Mars, then the time it takes the radio signal to get there does make a difference.
What does radar measures?
It measures the time it takes for a radio signal of a particular frequency to travel to a target and back. It also measures the strength of the signal when it returns. Based on the travel time of the signal, the radar can measure the distance of the target. Once the radar receives the 2nd signal, it can calculate the velocity of the target. The strength of the signal can be used to determine the size of the target.
What radio navigation aid determines the distance from an aircraft to a selected VORTAC station by measuring the length of time the radio signal takes to travel to and from the station?
DME
How do you find the lagtime of an earthquake?
lag time=(time it takes the s-wave to travel)-(time it takes the p-wave to travel)
What term is used to describe the time it takes a signal to travel from one location to another on a network?
Latency of course. It is often called "ping" on multiplayer online games.
Real Time Gross Settlement-how it works in India?
How does signal travel for a rtgs
How find time period of discreet signal?
To find the time period of a discrete signal, you need to identify the time interval between consecutive occurrences of a specific pattern or value in the signal. This may involve observing the repeating pattern in the signal and measuring the time it takes for the pattern to repeat. Once you have identified this time interval, it represents the time period of the discrete signal.
It can fill a room but takes no space it takes no time to travel place to place?
Light.
What is depth of the ocean if a sonar signal takes 4 seconds to travel from a ship to the ocean floor and back?
Unfortunately the ship sank
What is mercury's time travel?
The question needs to be more specific. It it the time to travel to Mercury, the time that Mercury takes to orbit around the sun?
